BIRMINGHAM'S Q Club is undergoing another new lease of life with the launch of its new smaller venue Q2.

The club, which has played host to some of the biggest names in club-land since it opened in the Autumn, is now looking to appeal to smaller promoters so it can carry more frequent and regular events catering for speciality audiences.

Co-owner Billy Choudhary, says: "We've been really pleased with how things are going so far. Our new year's eve event was fantastic we had the place packed out and it was amazing to be able to have Danny Rampling here when we brought Cream Classics back to Birmingham just a couple of weeks ago.

"But we always said when we started the club that we wanted it to appeal to as many people as possible. We've got a lot of good young producers and DJs in the city and we want to give them a chance to try their hand, and this is the perfect venue."

The club will be divided into two sections for the Q2 events with the main arena closed off and smaller more intimate rooms used to create better atmosphere. There will also be a new chill-out room featuring games consoles and sofas where clubbers can relax in between their favourite songs.

Club promoter, George Kafetzis adds: "We're not just stopping with Q2 though. We're also trying to put together a recording studio so that young musicians can come in here and have a go at making the music they like.

"A lot of schools and colleges don't have the facilities that we're looking to put together. When I was at school I didn't get the opportunity to study the kind of music I like, we're looking to remedy that."
